Fair point. But seeing how the C40-8W is a loco DLC for SPG and the loco is only driveable on SPG… I did say that you need to own the C40-8W in...
A bit of friendly advice - I wouldn‘t get my hopes up in that regard. Even the cold start of diesel engines is simplified in TSW. I don‘t see DTG...
Happy to hear that! I‘m glad that I could help :)
The middle paragraph is what I was thinking about. Not every route must necessarily be equipped. Thanks for clearing this up.
Isn‘t that just required on routes that feature passenger runs? That‘s what I recall reading, anyway.
Absolutely agree. Maybe Sam‘s talk about trying to test if products are good enough instead of just the usual QA will pay off. We‘ll see in the...
Very interesting! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. New hypothesis: Let‘s presuppose that the AC44 dynamics are working...
I think I know how AC dynamic braking works (rotation of motor slighty slower than the actual rotation of the axle - I know those are not the...
cwf.green Would you happen to have any official documentation on North American AC diesels? Dynamic brakes are straightforward enough to...
And Microsoft would care why? Microsoft have their own business model with XBox. DTG can go along with it or stay away from XBox. What won‘t...
Oh yes, I‘d love a more realistic cold start. Ideally, something like that would come with an upgrade to the AI to handle cold starts as well so...
The release on console is in Microsoft’s and Sony‘s hands. I believe Sam commented on this in a recent stream. Basically, DTG can choose when to...
The brakes are unfortunately released when starting the service. Quickly adjust the MU-2A valve to Lead or Dead and hammer on the independent...
I‘d like to get a good look at the loco liveries to see their final form. What does the service mode look like? How many services? How long? etc....
Interesting. As it is a DTG route from what I gather skipping through the article, that could mean it'll come to TSW someday. I imagine it would...
That may be true from a legal perspective. It's also what I would have done if I had sent a ticket. However, through the streams, we know a little...
Here are the PZB indicators: [IMG] Source A PZB equipped engine with no PZB displays would require a lot of guesswork happening. That doesn't...
The real 143 is rather complicated to drive: [ATTACH] Source The highlighted bit tells you that you should only put the traction lever as high...
Yep, we got our explanation as to why the 204's physics feel so off. I don't want to discourage anyone who really wants it from getting it (the...
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
Thank you for jumping in here. I didn‘t know your team worked on the 204 as well :D I guess then that the 204 will stay the way it is. No one is...
That‘s disheartening. I‘ll probably raise a ticket for this later on. I doubt it‘ll do anything, but it can‘t hurt to try.
Interesting point. Perhaps we should try finding a cab ride to get a feel for it. Pretty sure it‘s been this way since the original release for...
Hey there, after some months of not using the Br 204, I revisited it today. One thing that‘s been bugging me is the throttle. It would appear to...
Already created a thread here. We paid for LZB with our gauge lights :D
I think this is a performance issue. This happened to me regularly on SKA and RRO on PS4. Since I got my PS5, it didn't happen once. Maybe this'll...
Check this on page 33/34. It‘s an F2/F3 manual, but the underlying process should still be roughly the same. In essence, the way the traction...
Pneumatic Control Switch
This is beautiful :D Thanks for sharing, Tom Fresco.
On a keyboard, the [H] key is responsible for headlights. With the DB locos (from your post, I gather you‘re mostly talking about TRAXX locos),...
Agreed. I‘m just finishing up the Nora turn at which point I‘ll have done everything (apart from some mainline runs) at least once. There is still...
My guess is as follows: When you‘re standing still (especially while shunting), the TSW2020 indicator was ambiguous. You couldn‘t deduct from the...
There are subclasses in Germany, but the differences are mostly concerning the electric equipment and the possibility of operation in different...
Pretty much, yeah.
It's not about not wanting to be associated with. If I recall correctly, Sam talked about the BNSF situation recently and what it boils down to is...
Seems like the preview streams are getting more interesting with every article. We already had dynamic brakes, banking comm and sounds on our list...
Curious about this as well.
Probably the best choice. Have fun :D
Oh, was the situation described by solicitr about the exit signal showing 90? If so, then yes, LZB will absolutely know about it. I though the...
I think I read the same thing (in German) in the official manual, too. All it means is that if the exit signal for the LZB sector (LZB sectors...
Ok, this is where we have to go deeper into LZB workings. In the manual, I found this: [ATTACH] Roughly translated: When the LZB Ende process is...
10s and 1700m have no correlation whatsoever. 1700m is the distance between LZB Ende flashing and the actual end of LZB. 10s is the time you have...
Interesting question. I think this would be accurate for real life. PZB is always running in the background - meaning that if there is a speed...
At most, 1700m before the actual end of LZB. My source is once more the official LZB manual. [ATTACH]
Concerning the video: Nothing new was said in it. Most of the video is about dealing with LZB malfunctions (interesting, but unfortunately...
Are you sure? For me, electric/dynamic brake, direct/independent brake and train/auto brake keys all work on both PS4 and 5. Edit: In TSW2, that...
As far as I can tell, all controls do work on Playstation as well (including the new door controls), but [CTRL][-] doesn‘t work to this day while...
Feel free to do that. If you‘re still having problems, I‘m happy to help you out as best I can :)
It sounds to me like the rest of the consist may be the problem. Did you ensure that both your lead loco and your trailing loco (and rear DPUs if...
We‘re talking about DPU, not MU operations. MU is what you see in the screenshots - multiple locos directly linked together. DPU operations have...
